The oil in Essential Source Omega-3 is made from the whole fish. The livers of these small cold water fish are very small, so there are only trace amounts of vitamins A and D. Once the oil goes through the molecular distillation, most of the remaining vitamins A and D are removed What about other plant-sourced omega-3, like flaxseed? Plant-sourced omega-3s provide alpha linolenic acid (ALA), which has a shorter fatty acid chain than EPA and DHA. While ALA is healthy and beneficial, most of the benefits associated with consuming omega-3s are related to increased consumption of the longer-chain fatty acids EPA and DHA.
